Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to let you all know that Rusty has completed Day 1 of his trip and is now at Linda's (Bear Man), where he will spend the night. Linda reports that he is busy checking out every inch of his room and that he is in good spirits and very spirited.
We can't wait to meet him tomorrow. Many thanks to Phoebe and Leanne & Dwayne, who did the driving today. And to Venita and Hope, who are coordinating this transport.

Ella & Edward
 
YAY!!! How exciting Ella!!!!! I'm so glad he did well the first day and I'm sure tomorrow can't come soon enough for you and Edward.
 
Yay!!!!

SOOOOO EXCITING!!! WE CANT WAIT TO SEE LORD RUSSELL!! THANKS TO ALL VOLUNTEERS--RUSTY IS COMING HOME!! party_cat party_cat party_cat party_cat :RAHCAT :RAHCAT :RAHCAT :thumbup
 
Great photos Phoebe. Looks like he traveled in complete comfort. Safe driving for all involved and please let us know when he is in his furever home. He is a gorgeous cat!
 
Venita, the Yahoo groups link doesn't work for me. These photos may be in Venita's album:











Rusty has settled in well. He has explored every nook and cranny and scent in the guest kitty bedroom. He has had something to eat, and has used the litterbox. I had to go out for a couple of hours, and when I came back, he was settled in his bed. He is a big kitty, very active and curious, and very social. He and Teddy have been trying to get a look at each other underneath the closed door. I hope he gets a good sleep tonight to prepare for his big travel day tomorrow.

And speaking of rusty, I have to dust off my testing and shooting skills in a couple of hours nailbite_smile
 
yay!!! What a great day so far for traveling .. sounds like rusty is doing great and is resting up to meet his new furever beans tomorrow .. everyone be safe driving!
 
Awww Rusty, how awesome is this whole adventure! He is so handsome and snuggly looking. Good thing that the transport didn't come through where I live because I think I would have kitty-napped him. :-D

Ella and DH are so fortunate to get this special delivery package!
Good luck on your drive tomorrow Linda and Ronnie!
 
Thank you everyone for the updates and pics! :YMHUG:
He is so gorgeous!

As you know I am looking sooo forward to meeting Linda (Bear) and the road trip to Rusty's new home to meet Ella too!
Pictures and video for sure!
:razz:
 
flip_cat Yeah!!! I've been thinking about Rusty all day today and sending good vibes everybody's way. Thanks for the update... he's such a beautiful boy and blessed to be heading to his new furever home!
 
What a hunk.....I get first dibs girls~Curry

Curry, where are your manners young lady. Let Rusty get to his new home first. Silly kitty. I do have to say...Rusty is indeed a very handsome fellow.

Thank you for sharing the photos. What a treat!!!

Safe travels tomorrow.
 
What a beautiful boy and such a lucky one too. I can see all of our girl kitties fighting over him once he settles in to his new home. I'm so glad that the transport is going well. What an adventure! What a home coming there will be tomorrow when he meets his new MOm and Dad. Thanks to everyone who has made this possible.
 
pmps 97 - 117

Oh boy, I am sweating this testing and shooting stuff like a newbie. Bear Man was a piece of cake to test. Rusty is SO well behaved ... he sits and lets the newbie poke him, only giving one little squeek of protest, but his ears didn't bleed as profusely as Bear's used to. I got one test of 5.4 (times 18 = 97), but wasn't sure I had enough blood, so did another test of 6.5 (times 18 = 117). I tried for a tie breaker, but he was done. The guidelines from Phoebe said below 100 to shoot .25U, so to be on the safe side, especially as he is in strange surroundings, that's what I gave. Shot was at 7 p.m. He is eagerly eating his dinner now.
 
Hi Rusty (and Linda),

So glad to know that he go to your house, Linda. Just looking at the pictures makes me cry. I still miss him. Give him a hug for his foster mom.

And, Ella, please let me know when he gets to your home tomorrow.

Safe travels everyone,

Claudia
 
It sounds like the big guy is having quite a day! Linda, I think I have to have a refresher course in testing and shooting, too!! Good thing the subject is pretty mellow! Wonderful photos Phoebe, Linda, and Leanne. Thanks for posting the links, Venita.

We'll be off tomorrow morning before dawn so as to get to the Canadian border at a decent hour. The roads here are snow-covered from the 4-5 inches of snow we got today, but I think they'll be OK. I'll post tomorrow, late afternoon or early evening, after we get this handsome boy home. Safe travels Linda & Ronnie! See you in Kingston!

Ella

p.s. to Claudia: Hi! I'll be sure to let you know when we get home tomorrow.
 
Oh what a beautiful boy! I am so happy for Ella and Edward. And it is so wonderful that you all got together for the transport. What special people you all are. :YMHUG:
 
Happy Day 1.
How incredible this transport is.
Safe driving tomorrow, Linda, Ronnie, Ella & Edward.
Ella, you are just going to love him to pieces, I can just tell.

Linds the newbie. That brings another smile to my face. You should have
had Ronnies sleep over too. I'm sure she would just loooove testing Rusty. :-D
 
haha Randi!
and Linda the newbie! lol!
yea, I miss those days, but not that much :lol:

Sleep tight sweet Rusty - big day tomorrow!
 
WOW-how cool is this transport - and all you newbies out there testing and shooting. This guy is SO lucky to have all of you helping him. And boy... is he gorgeous or what? I like the way his lips are really dark. They really stand out.
 
you can start your trip off singing
"99 bottles of insulin in the fridge"

and ditto on the dark lips...binks has 'em too...and it always looks like he's smiling...
 
What a gorgeous young man! This is so kewl. Everyone joining to get Rusty to his furever home! Ella, I know it will be hard but get some sleep for the day ahead!

This is an uplifting thread… Rusty is so handsome.. Beautiful pictures… You must be so exited to see him tomorrow… Will you be able to sleep!?!
 
looks like he could be my Shadow or Linda's Bear's cousin. very cute guy.
excited about his journey to his forever home. bet he'll fit in beautifully.
i could see phoebe's flickr photos but not venita's DCIN ones. evidently i have to be a member of DCIN? i'm a member of it on facebook but guess that didn't work for yahoo...

[edited to add: venita moved the photos to a more publicly accessible album. see her later post for link. thanks, venita!]
 
Travel safely today, Linda, Ronnie, Ella, and Edward. You are carrying precious cargo.

Sorry about posting the photos on the Yahoo Group. I thought the albums there were public. I hae reported them on Photobucket here.
 
Wishing you all involved a safe travel!
this really makes me happy to know such great love and compassion! Rusty is one lucky kitty!!! he is beautiful....pardon me....HANDSOME!
 
Rusty is safely in the arms of his new beans, Ella and Edward. They and Linda and Ronnie had good roads for the trip, and met up earlier than expected. Rusty is said to be a really good traveler, and will sit in Edward's lap on his final leg home.

More pictures to come once everyone gets home to their computers.
 
YAY! thank you for the update Venita! Good job everyone! Happy story!
Wishing Rusty a wonderful life with Ella and Edward!
Bless you all for helping him get there safely! :mrgreen:
We are with you all in spirit! :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
YEA!!! Another successful transport! Congratulations, Ella and Edward and Rusty! Waiting to hear how Rusty loves his new home!!
